MSR specifies the Stormking as an all season tent. It is apparent that tyhe tent can handle extereme cold weather conditions, but would this tent be appropriate for warm weather (extremes) as well. For example, would full fly coverage in a warm weather rain storm cause condensation problems? Also, how heavy duty are the zippers, #8, #10 or what?

Warm weather extremes? A friend of mine has a old Moss 3person version of this tent that she uses on the Black Rock dry lakebed in Nevada. We've seen temps above 105, and the inside of it gets steamy and stuffy, but livable. Doesn't really have much for ventilation. She sticks with it, because it will shrug off a 55mph dust storm that flattened most the rest of the tents.
